15 Ways To Start Getting Happier ... RIGHT Now

Six years ago, I was totally burned out from my job, addicted to drugs, suffering from eating disorders, and was diagnosed with clinical depression. All of my relationships were toxic, and I hated who I saw in the mirror. One night, I hit my breaking point. I remember crying hysterically on the floor, and screaming to no one about how I just couldn’t do it anymore.

At some point, I realized I knew how to fix the problem. I didn’t have to be a victim in my own life. I just had to figure out what I wanted. So, I got off the floor, stared at myself in the mirror and asked, “What do you want?"

At that point, all I knew was that I wanted to be happy. Learning how to achieve that has been my journey for the past several years. It’s a process that has required the willingness to let go of everything that doesn’t serve my ultimate purpose. It’s hard and it’s scary, but there’s no more worthwhile pursuit. So, I left my job, healed my addictions, and eventually turned my experiences into my current career path of coach and author.

These days, I wake up peaceful, connected to myself, at ease in the world. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed by all the things it feels like you need to FIX before you can be happy, or you just want to check in with yourself, read over the checklist that helped me turn my life around. Think of it as a sutra for your best life ever.
